Come stay at one of the most unique and inspiring luxury properties in Estes Park! Modern luxury log cabin (Note that this is a brand-new listing, and the property has never been previously rented. We have taken over a year renovating and converting our home into the special place in has become.)
You don't need to choose between the mountains or the lake for your dream vacation when you can have both! The Lake Estes Mountain Retreat is a luxury 4-bedroom, 4 and ½ bath vacation home located at Lake Estes in Estes Park. This is the place to come and relax, commune with nature and spend time with family and friends. This is one of the few privately owned pieces of property that directly abuts the nearly 4-mile Lake Estes Trail that circles Lake Estes. Our property is over one and a half acres with incredible views of Longs Peak, Twin Sisters, the Continental Divide and a rear yard that gently slopes down to the lake. Our expansive windows and southern exposure over Lake Estes results in incredible light in the home where you can watch the sun rise and set and the wildlife that frequently graze in our yard. Deer, elk, owls and birds (other animals) regularly visit the lake and our property.
THE LAKE - Fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking and biking steps away
Lake Estes is located just east of downtown Estes Park and is approximately 185 acres. It is one of the few lakes in Estes Park Valley and Rocky Mountain National Park that allows recreational boating. Our home is just a 5-minute walk along the lake to Lake Estes Marina where you can rent kayaks, paddleboards or a pontoon boat. The lake is also excellent for fishing and is stocked by the Colorado Department of Wildlife with Rainbow Trout. Fishing is just a few steps away There is a paved walking path the completely surrounds the lake.

The property was well keep and amazing. The best way to describe it is a modern cabin with a rustic appeal but all the modern tech comforts. I will definitely be staying here again.
Stunning home, decor and setting made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. The house is in a great location easily accessible to town and activities. Very responsive host.
This house is amazing and has everything to make your stay wonderful. The kitchen is well equiped, bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. The view from the deck is amazing. The location of the house is perfect and allows for easy access to all the town and Rocky Mountain National Park has to offer.

Wonderful Stay
This house was perfect for our stay with our adult children and their spouses. The location was ideal for exploring Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park and the views from the deck overlooking the lake were spectacular.
The host was communicative and the house was equipped with everything that we needed for our visit.
The property both inside and out exceeded our expectations. Rustic/ yet very modern interior. All amenities one could imagine were thoughtfully provided. My immediate family (six adults and two small children) had a wonderful stay and plan to return annually if possible. Highly recommend.
The house is beautifully updated and in pristine condition. Spectacular views. Loved the deck. The kitchen was fully appointed. Convenient location only minutes from downtown Estes Park and RMNP entrances. The owner was very accessible for communication. We highly recommend the house and the owner! We would definitely stay there again.
My husband and I have made many trips to Estes Park, but never stayed on Lake Estes before. This cabin had a fabulous balcony overlooking the lake. The kitchen was well stocked although we ate out a lot this trip.
The owner and property manager were easily reached during our stay to answer any questions we had. Great cabin for large family or friends to share.
The home exceeded our expectations! Wonderful location, gorgeous views, beautifully furnished. Comfortable and spacious. Communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish. This is a perfect rental for three-four couples, or a large family. I highly recommend this rental and hope to return soon.
This is a beautiful home with views unimaginable. The owner planned out everything in detail making check in and check out a breeze. Home was fully stocked with everything you need. Lake and mountain views along with wild elk and deer viewing was fantastic. Close to all amenities and Rocky Mountain National Park.
What an amazing time spent with family. We hiked in the mountains, rode bikes, took long walks, rented a pontoon boat, went to dinner and enjoyed time sitting around the fire pit. The elk even attempted to join our group!! Couldn’t have asked for a better location.
We have a family tradition of doing a VRBO Getaway Vacation each year. We are a family of 7, ages 2 to 62 - Grandma, kids, and grandkids. We pick a new town/state each year. This year's Lake Estes vacation was definitely one of our best. This beautiful home is everything it says it is. Excellent accommodations, beautiful location, close to everything, endless activities for all ages. Our host, Julie went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. From booking to check-out and everything in between, we couldn't have asked for a better host.
I have rented dozens of homes of the years and this is at the top of the list in which I have to say is an amazing house. One must see it and stay here to truly see everything it has to offer. From the beautiful new interior with all four bedrooms spaced out and very large, to the crazy well stocked kitchen, super clean hot tub, very large south facing upper deck, and on and on, all with Estes Lake literally right down the slopped backyard. A very, very clean house as well. A one minute walk to the lake trail. Saw elk everyday and a newborn calf along with the cow for two days. Great place for family or friends.
One of the very few homes that had rented which had much more than I expected.
I must not forget to add the views were as good as gets.
Julie, was also very helpful and available.
We had a group of eight people, all family, headed to Rocky Mountain National Park, so we were looking for a place that could hold us all comfortably, yet give us all some privacy, too.
This placed checked everything on our list (hot tub, private bathrooms, lakefront property, proximity to multiple park entrances, cleanliness and security) and happened to be nestled in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
The property is a short walk down the hill to the lakefront which has a 4-5 mile walking path around the lake. The path leads to a small area where we rented bikes, kayaks and paddleboats, but you could rent pontoon boats and go fishing as well. The other direction of the path takes you to downtown Estes Park but you will undoubtedly see elk, deer or other wildlife like we did on our adventure.
Ownership and management were fantastic throughout our stay as well. Everything we needed or asked for was provided and the responses were immediate.
We hiked most days after the 15 minute drive to the park entrances but some of us went on bike rides when we get back to the property on a few of the bikes provided with the rental. We soaked our sore muscles in the oversized hot tub at night and enjoyed the serenity of nature while we grilled dinner each night on the patio with the natural gas fueled grill.
This was a splendid vacation home and we would come back here again in a second- highly recommended and enjoyable!
This home was just perfect for us. Party of 6, parents and 4 kids in teens/20s. We walked a lot from here into town or just along the lake. We played card games and puzzles. The kitchen, grill and hottub got lots of use. It was just awesome. The location and amenities can't be beat. We would def come back.
My family had the BEST time!!!! The house was perfect and so was the location! ZERO complaints! We already want to go back and definitely staying here again!
